Hey everyone, I am looking for a set of good used 1975 - 1978 Toyota pickup/hilux cab vent covers, looking for good condition, no cracks, can be faded, also looking for a good used/ new dash cap for the same truck, if you have any of these parts or know of someone that does have them and wants to sell them, please hit me up, finder fee will apply to anyone who gives me the hookup of the parts that I buy, your parts or theirs it dont matter. I use paypal for most all my stuff but will use other payment options if I HAVE to. Thanks for any help in advance
That would be awesome if you found me some. . . Thank you so much for the clarification on the vent fitment, that helps me. I hope you have some . . .
P.M. sent, " woo hoo " * As for the dash pad, the other Ideal I had considered is fiberglass & bondo then paint OR cover with tweed to match my new seat cover Im having made. While Im on this parts search, I need to find a windsheild and trim for this same truck, how much do or should I expect to pay, OR does anyone have one or a cheaper route in getting these?!
Payment sent for the cab vents . . . Thanks Great idea on the expanding foam, that could/would work too. Ima try and glass/bondo this one and cover it up, Ill post pictures when done in my ( Green Machine thread ) Thanks for the approx on the windsheild, Im just glad they are still available, I could salvage the chrome trim, BUT, its really not worth it to me that much, so Ill order the black seal and price shop for the window, mine was spiderwebbed from doing warp speed on the intergallactic expressway LOL !
FWIW, If and when you pull the front windshield, give a good cleaning and some rust preventative work around the glass opening, there are 2 small weep holes in the lower corners that are normally plugged up and over time the channel under the rubber seal tends to rust through from trapped water under the seal, then it leaks inside, drips on the wiring under the dash, travels over there and drips on your foot and you spend hours peering under the dash wondering where the hell the leak is
Its all good, Im just lucky to have found them. I am truley happy! Gotta love toyotamini members helping each other out!
. . . Now I just gotta find someone with a radiator for the 1975 toyota pickup, on the bottom of this one it has one large outlet for water pump & one small outlet for heater core, and finding one is next to impossible. Anyone have one ( not all hashed up ) or does anyone have knowledge or getting one?! I can find em for 1976 - 1978, but not 75' not sure if theres a fitment problem, and no one in the parts houses have a clue, its like retardo syndrome ( probably drive Fords or something " DoH' " ) Ide like to retain the heater and this one has been seam sealed ( leaking a lil in 5 spots around the seam ) already and had one fin fixed up ( major slob job ). Ive tried radiator sealer to seal it up with no luck, and I dont want to seal it again. Overall, I just want to replace it with OEM good condition, or exact fit, not looking for custom or patch jobbers. Anyone know of one, hit me up please ! Thanks yet again !
The radiators from 76-78 will work fine, the only problem you might run into would be the shroud not being an exact bolt on, if it didn't the lower bolt holes won't line up with the mounts on the radiator, but not a big problem. 75 had an optional 3 row core but are not available anymore and really hard to find.
Anyone have any more of these vent covers? I just got my new project car and they're blown to smithereens.
Chrome trim for the windshield seal is still available. You can get it at the following link- Toyhead Auto Restoration Services
